As it is the cvamera club break for December, I decided to get off my rear and take a couple of images with the 28 3.5 PC yesterday. It was a pretty ordinary day and I was shooting at either f8 or f5.6 using peaking highlightson the Z5.
To me it is apparent that the resolving power of the lens doesn't match the 24MP sensor and I find the results a little soft.

Today the sun is out and all is good - I hope you enjoy a glimpse at our little bit of paradise

Wonderful image, it looks familiar.
Leighton - Thanks, I posted a version earlier that showed the windows glowing with blue lighting from fish tanks.
The star attraction was a small octopus.
As I continue clearing up my late summer / early fall photos, here are a few from the Hot August Nights classic car show in Comox, on a theme of Reflections. All were taken with the Fuji X-T4, Lens Turbo II and either the 50 f/1.4 SC (first two) or the 35 f/1.4 N (last one).
I have to hasten to post so I can defend the 28 PC's honor
Its never sharp all across the frame, its awful distortion near the top edge is something you have to account for, but its also my most used Nikkor lens.
Its a good amount lighter than the 24 PC-E, and you can get reasonable results with a lens you can walk around with all day. I went back and looked at my 28 pictures, and I think the D800, D850 and the Z7 II did better than the Df, doing a quick scan through the images.

These images look more like Knysna in winter than Tucson.
After a lovely summer day yesterday doing a bit of home maintenance, we're back to mist and rain today.
I was going to test a couple of other MF lenses but will wait for some better light
